The "Middle East and Terrorism" Blog was created in order to supply information about the implication of Arab countries and Iran in terrorism all over the world. Most of the articles in the blog are the result of objective scientific research or articles written by senior journalists.

Killing a Jew is the way to be classified as a lunatic. But oddly, when Muslims harm non-Jewish Frenchmen, they are called terrorists.

A Muslim suspect rammed six police officers with his car in the Paris
suburb of Levallois-Perret. Two French officers sustained severe
injuries. The French media and authorities had no doubt. “Terror
returned to Paris”. “A voluntary act”. Nobody questioned the motive of
the Algerian terrorist who tried to shed the policemen's blood. No one
called him a lunatic.

“What do you think, should this insane
person be put in a psych ward while we contemplate the reasons for his
actions?” the Crif, the central organization of French Jewry, posted on
Facebook about the attacker in Levallois-Perret. It was a provocative
but brave reference to the French establishment for its dealing with the
slaying of a Jewish woman, Sarah Halimi, by a Muslim man, Kobili
Traore, who was sent to observation as per his insanity plea even though
he has no record of mental illness. He shouted “Allah Akbar” while
killing Halimi and throwing her from the window. The judiciary’s
omission of the aggravated element of a hate crime caused by
anti-Semitism, according with CRIF President Francis Kalifat, is a
“cover up” of the anti-Semitic character of the crime.

The French media only covered Halimi’s death two months after it happened.

We
have seen this mechanism before with another Halimi, Ilan, a beautiful
Jewish boy kidnapped at the outskirts of Paris, held prisoner for 24
days, tortured to death just because he was a Jew. The brave French
journalist Guy Millière wrote that “Ilan 's screams were heard by
neighbors because they were especially atrocious: the killers disfigured
the flesh of the young man, broke his fingers, burned him with acid and
eventually with fire”.

As in the case of Sarah Halimi,
anti-Semitism was denied by the political authorities, the police and
the media in the death of Ilan. As Francis Szpiner, the lawyer for the
family of this boy, said, "the silence killed Ilan Halimi and justice
has helped to perpetuate this conspiracy of silence, because the public
was not told why he was killed”.

It seems that in France, as in
the rest of Europe, a lunatic is especially lunatic if he strikes the
Jews. I see the same conspiracy of silence from the European élites when
the Palestinian terrorists strike the Israelis living in Judea and
Samaria. The double stigma of “settler” and “Jew” makes them unwhorthy
of headlines and truth.

Have the European Jews become themselves “settlers”, unworthy of attention, compassion and justice?
